Frequently Asked Questions

How often should you get a four wheel alignment?

• Routine guidance: aim for an alignment at least once a year or every 6,000–12,000 miles, whichever comes first, and after any major impact or suspension work.
• Preventive approach: regular alignments prolong tire life, preserve fuel efficiency, and reduce suspension wear — delivering both immediate and long-term savings.
• Why at our dealership: alignments performed at Nalley Volkswagen of Alpharetta use factory specifications and calibrated equipment so any warranty-covered repairs remain valid.
• Convenience: book service online via our Service Scheduler and combine alignment checks with routine maintenance visits to save time and money.

How do you know if your wheels need alignment?

• Steering signs: your 2016 Volkswagen e-Golf pulls to one side or the steering wheel sits off-center while driving straight.
• Tire wear: uneven or rapid edge wear patterns show misalignment and lead to premature replacement costs.
• Ride and handling: vibrations, wandering, or a loose steering feel indicate suspension or alignment issues that affect safety and efficiency.
• Inspection advice: our certified technicians will inspect tires, suspension components, and steering geometry and recommend a four wheel alignment when needed.
